Rotel RSX 1057 as a Pre/Pro?

[ICEMAN70]

Hi guy's

I was just wondering what would be the advantages and disadvantages of using the New RSX 1057 as a Pre/pro?

Would the RSP 1068 sound much better than the RSX 1057 when hooked up to a RMB 1075 or 1095?

I am asking because i can get the RSX for a good price from my dealer to replace the RSP 1066 i have.


Any info would be great.

Isn't the RSX-1057 almost same price as RSP 1068 ??

you couls use the amplification of the 1057 to biamp or some of it's amps to get 7.1!

No. My dealer quoted me $2275 for the RSP-1068 and $1500 for the RSX-1057. These are in Canadian $$$$.

I think $1500 CDN is a great price for the RSX 1057. Thats like $1345.46 US.

Also the RSX 1057 has HDMI that i could take advange of.. Hard decision.

I was in your boat and went for the 1057.

I coupled it with the 1077.

I have the 1077 but I'm still waiting for the 1057 as it was on backorder.

If you do your research on the 1056 vs 1068 (the 1057 is a 1056 with HDMI)
you will find a divided camp wich one is the better buy.

Apparently in Europe the 1056 is more expensive as it "seems" to have the 1068 electronics plus an amp!! plus a tuner...and in 1057 form HDMI!!!
(Someone please jump in and correct me here...)

If it was choosing between the 1057 and 1068 replacement (1069?) which is not going to be out anytime soon (aka sometime in 2007) I would go for the 1069. Eventually I plan on selling the 1057 for it or even better the 1098 replacement.

If you can hold out for another week, I'll be able to give you a hands on experience how it works as a pre.

Hope this helps.
